What Could Be The Reason For Pain In Stomach And Leg For More Than A Year?

Hi. My 4 year old daughter has been complaining nearly every day with a stomach ache for about a year. Now she is starting to complain with leg pain. We have been to the pediatrician several times and keep getting brushed off saying it is just a sensitive stomach. But I just have a gut feeling its something more serious. I fear cancer. What could this be?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having some GI tract infection, either bacterial, amebic or parasitic.
Worm infection is common at this age leading to anemia giving rise to weakness, leg pain etc.
Go for stool test.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
Forget about cancer.
Ok and take care.
